This book offers an overview of traditional big visual data analysis
approaches and provides state-of-the-art solutions for several scene
comprehension problems, indoor/outdoor classification, outdoor scene
classification, and outdoor scene layout estimation. It is illustrated
with numerous natural and synthetic color images, and extensive
statistical analysis is provided to help readers visualize big visual
data distribution and the associated problems. Although there has been
some research on big visual data analysis, little work has been
published on big image data distribution analysis using the modern
statistical approach described in this book. By presenting a complete
methodology on big visual data analysis with three illustrative scene
comprehension problems, it provides a generic framework that can be
applied to other big visual data analysis tasks.
